Bacchanalia, Italian restaurant in Chicago

Tuscan roots that still feel close to home

Mr. Belfonte Pieri moved to the United States in 1958 in search of the American Dream. After working various jobs, including as an assistant chef, he decided to fulfill his lifelong dream with his wife, Noemi, of opening their own Italian restaurant. Using recipes passed down through their families in Tuscany, they opened Bacchanalia restaurant in Chicago in 1979, just blocks away from their home.
